Science Fuse is a social enterprise working to promote science education among young learners. Our goal is to make science research an equally viable choice for youngsters to pursue in leisure time as is perhaps indulging in sports, music and arts. To this end we offer young students a unique opportunity to learn science by ‘doing’ at our summer camps, extracurricular science workshops and after-school science clubs. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, to engage the wider public with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) as part of popular culture, and to strengthen connection between researchers and the public.
